You need a T6 bit. Try www.ebay.com. You should be able to pick one up for a couple of dollars. Look at:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3074142266&category=3311
Watch out for the $6 postage though!!! You should be able to find a similar one on there for a bit cheaper.

torx-6
You just checked Homedepot only? 8) I did check Home Depot, Lowe, Radio Shack, Best Buy, CC, no luck! Finally, Sears Hardware has it. But right there I found that Flat Head 1/16 did the same thing with Torx 6 :twisted:
links?
I want one where the phone comes out completely naked (no covers with a detachable clip)
Hope thats not too confusing.
Personal experience/pictures welcome...
Thanks
I use a Krusell (http://www.krusell.se/productUni.php?productID=2419&category=49) with mine and it's a nice fit. I've actually used the same holder since I had a Wizard and it's lasting well.
Where did u buy it? I'm in the US where it's seemingly impossible to get accessories for this phone from anything but Hong Kong (sheesh)...
Thanks

Why not use the OEM one that came with the Kaisers? Have heard good things about them.
because I bought mine from ATT and there was no case included. I purchased their top-end leather case but when you put it in a horizontal configuration it is off-balanced and angles so that the opening points toward the floor when I have it clipped to my scrub pants in the hospital.
What's the exact model of the Krusell that will fit the kaiser? I looked on amazon and some other listed sites but there are a LOT of horizontal cases out there by Krusell.
Thanks

The link I posted is for the specific model that I use.
I'm in England and bought mine from somebody on EBay that sells loads of Krusell cases (Sorry, I can't remember the username though!)
You could try this http://www.cases.com/kr95146.htm but they seem to be on back-order at the moment.
SFPlanet.com seems to have the best prices for Krusell. I think the Tilt needs the Horizon Small/Wide.
BestBuy sells the HTC oem one. I bought one and it works well.
Horizontal with 2 magnetic fastners.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8222327&st=htc&lp=5&type=product&cp=1&id=1166840037625
Bought this one for $19.99 - can't beat that. Exactly what I wanted- horizontal, high-quality plastic belt clip.
http://www.sfplanet.com/product/951...zon_SWide__Black__Black_with_Spring_clip.html
lol- anyone want to buy the cingular vertical case for the tilt? Got an extra...

is a very good case and i can't see why to change it with some one else
The case below is a horizontal pouch style. I am curious about the fit. IT was originally marketed with the HTC Touch Dual styled devices. Do you guys think it would be a good fit for the Fuze?
http://cgi.ebay.com/HTC-TOUCH-OEM-E...14&_trkparms=72:1240|66:4|65:12|39:1|240:1318
The other option for me is another OEM case shown here:
http://www.windowsmobilenow.com/us/p_wm_acc1.aspx?i=169487&partner=wmusfroogle
If anyone has either of these cases I would really like your comments on fit. I expect the finish will be similar to the finish of the HTC OEM Tytn case that I currently carry. Any help is appreciated as i need to protect her soon. My front pocket is not the ideal carry spot for me and the Tytn case is simply too big for the Fuze.
I'm using the S322 case, magnetic closure instead of velcro, for my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV (Raphael 300).
Bit tight in the early days, but works like a charm.
You mention that yours has a magnetic closure instead of velcro. Did they release both variants? Where did you purchase from and how did you ensure that you got the right one.
I bought it at a mobile phone shop in the nearest city, don't remember which one...
It was in an original HTC blister packaging, they removed it so I could try it on my Vario IV.
As I already stated, a tight fit, so I handed over 16 € and left them the blister packaging
It has one magnet, not as powerfull as the two in the TyTN case but strong enough.
Don't know about the velcro closure, it's not mentioned on the Dutch site, it's mentioned on the UK site and the Expansys site. (who are running the European htc accessory store)
Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, most US dealers never carry OEM cases, and I am forced to buy online sight unseen. I like a snug fit that develops into a perfect fit as you've described so I guess I just need to make my purchase.

I actually saw the oem htc side case in BestBuy o.o In cell phones accessories. They had 100's of em! I was in shock. Never had I seen htc accessories in best buy. I found invisibleSHIELD and BodyGuardz for the iPhone and diamond too

Was this the only one they had?

I have the one from the Best Buy link. It came with an HTC phone I bought some time ago. I can't even remember which one. BUT, alas it is simple too big for the Fuze.

Guys,
I will go to BestBuy to check this out in further detail. But in the meantime...
@Venelar,
Please post some photos of the phone in the case and out. I would love to see as many as you could post.
EDIT:
I went by my local BestBuy, and sure enough that is the exact case that I already have. IMNSHO that case is too large for the phone. I will be trying to secure the HTC PO S322.
Guys, I was on the HTC Forum where I saw this "customizable leather" case and some glowing reviews. It seems to be nice enough, and thought I would see any of the xda family had picked one up. I have never ween it mentioned here so I thought you guys would want to know. I think I'll order one.

Shameless nudge in hopes of grabbing attention/opinions.

I just ordered one of the A1 cases. Did you get your case? how was it?
I purchased this soft pouch case ( http://www.mobilecityonline.com/wir...=organic&utm_term=POS322&utm_campaign=froogle ) from the store in NYC. It's a tight fit at first, it even peeled away my screen protector (2 of them) at first but it becomes just right after awhile. The velcro could be a bit better too...

Hi All
I have a T-Mobile UK Branded touch pro and Im looking for a half decent protective case. Similar to the seido one here:
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR2HTFE-BK
Im not looking for an amazing one, just a decent one that will stop the phone from getting scratched that I can buy from the UK so I dont have to pay international shipping fees and that will nicely fit the t-mobile version.
Been looking for ages but they seem to be hard to come by!
Cheers
I have this case: http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=11000365_11000370_11000580&products_id=15119. I really like it. I carry the case in my pocket at work. When I want to put it on my belt I screw in the include knob and use the included belt clip. Only $28.00 from PDair with worldwide free shipping. I can find it a little cheaper at other sites that resale it, but not by the time I add shipping. It is a little slow getting it, because it ships from Hong Kong. I have bought several cases from them over the years. I have got them in as little as three days once and once it took a week. Normally 4 or 5 days to the midwest of the US.

Well how about this for a change? Got it for 7.99 with Free Shipping (Arrived in 6 business days) and it looks like the Seidio one except way friggin' cheaper and it looks good.
NEW BLACK SILICONE SKIN CASE FOR HTC TOUCH PRO FUZE ATT
I'm sure the UK eBay would have something similar too.
The bottom one is exactly the type of thing im looking for. however anyone know of one that doesnt have to open before I can slide the screen up?
Also another problem is the back section where the gap for the camera is, as I have the t-mobile branded version of the phone i have a rectangle backing, like the image below.

No sir. It flips all the way around to the back of the phone. I got a case just like it for my 8525. I really like the design.

How does the phone stay in the Pdair case? Is there a plastic film over the slideout keyboard? I couldn't tell for sure from the pictures.
The best Case Ever
Hey I just got my new Kursell orbit flex case And let me say the best I have ever had it's a Stay in case with a plastic cover over the keyboard also it's a 2 part case So the front lid comes off along with slots for a micro and sd card slot in the case WoW.... Take a look

It does have the film over keyboard which isn't as comfy ad plain Fuze on itself, but out of all other cases i have seen, this one is more decent then the rest...
I'm wondering about this size issue of the T-Mobile USA vs EU T8525 vs AU T9193.
If i take the housing off the Tshmo USA and replace with an european 8525 housing I get off ebay, would I be dealing with issues like the digitizer being too big for housing or the wifi board not fitting in the housing? Where is the differential coming from?
I do not think LCD would be any different. I guess I look forward to a Tshmo USA DISASSEMBLY!!!
Any thoughts?

That sounds INSANELY unnecessary.
Well I do phone repair for lots of people so it isn't too crazy. Plus what if someone bought a T-Mobile USA HD2 and cracked housing outside of warranty and needed to repair for themselves. All that is on market right now is housing for european models from what I have seen. It's not to strange trust me.
i agree. but the only thing on the market is European because the phone has been out for 3 days... and people only could buy on day one.. no sales the last 2 days...
long story short... there will be housing for the new hd2 in due time, and anyone that needs housing already is an idiot in my mind (i mean the one that came out Wednesday)... and i hear the new hd2 is 1.5 mm taller... i don't think it would have been if it wasn't necessary...
Yeah but, don't you wanna find out WHY it is taller?

I got mine on friday, it wasn't advertised but a lot of the stores got shipments on both thrusday and friday.
Hahaha I wouldn't even try doing that. I have replace many housings nokia n95,n82,moto mings and their not too easy but i seen how they take the hd2 apart and it doesnt look something you can do just like that. you need a damn oven for the glue a freaking oven lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGSsk2mMq84

LOL are you sure? any how is the screen really glues into the pieces or its just a normal glue?
Normal glue? No such thing.
I used a hair dryer instead of an oven to weaken the glue bond that was between LCD and plastic mid-frame.
I believe most adhesives in cellphones are silicon based.

makes sence i usually just get a really this plastic card and slowly pull the screen out of the device while using the card to cut through the glue so far it has never failed me (not that im tring to use it on the hd2 unless i break it and i think ill go with ur idea better.
So my idea of swapping parts of US HD2 with Euro HD2 is not so crazy after all. This can mean lots of money saved pending on the fix and where your phone is from. Thanks to asterix005 for posting pics of Digitizer / Housing comparisons.
Anyone with more input on the idea of cross model repair, post in here!
Euro 8525 FITTING with Tmobile US housing:

So the next logical question(s) to ask is:
"OTHER THAN PERFORMANCE, DO THE PARTS INTERNALLY DIFFER BETWEEN TMO US and 8525 EURO ON THE ISSUE OF SIZE / ARRANGEMENT?"
"WHY IS THE HOUSING 1.5mm LARGER ON TMOBILE US?"

It's just a guess, but an extra 512MB of RAM has to have somewhere to live
I was wondering the same thing... if I can tale my T-MoUS insides and put them in a t8585 casing. My main reason is there are lot's of nice leather cases for the euro model like the vaja case that won't fit my us hd2.

Are you certain the Vaja case wouldn't fit the american model? Just asking cause i placed an order without even thinking about the difference in size.

Pretty sure. The way it closes over the top of it won't work cause it won't reach over the top. Plus the vaja case is pretty exact fitting without any wiggle room. I contacted Vaja to see if they could make a version that fit the US model, but unfortunately they said they have no plans to. I have the noreve case which is made for the euro version, also, but luckily it does have some wiggle room and doesn't have such an exact fitting closing mechanism... so it fits decently. But you can tell that the volume button and camera are a couple mm higher up and the top goes a little higher. I had to cut a little extra off the camera hole.
Good luck... hopefully you can return or cancel the vaja case. Otherwise, if you get it and figure out a way to mod it to get it to fit, please let me know because I would love to have a vaja case. But I'm pretty sure it's not gonna fit without you modifying it someway. I don't know how you could mod it, though.
